It's funny how I hadn't really heard that the Rapture was to begin (the world will end?) today until sometime last week.
News to me.
What entertains me the most is a church's billboard on the way to work: "If you're still here, come to mass Sunday!"
If you know me, you probably know that I don't hold much with visions and prophecies and literal interpretations of the Bible, because it's all filtered through people, and people are typically batshit insane. I may be a heretic, or a heathen, or just a terrible person, but I also know that there have been no fewer than 13 predictions of the exact time and date of the Rapture (even though the Bible says it cannot be known and will not be known until you're kinda in it.)
Maybe the end times will be prefaced by natural disaster and impending war, but be honest: how often has human history, even for a brief stretch of time, been without natural disaster and impending war?
For all I know, the end of the world happened in the Dark Ages and the rest of us just didn't notice (or chose to believe we were worthy enough to be taken up in the Rapture.) Or apparently, according to Preterists, around 70 AD.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
